Columns

[GodzMessanja]

How do I make rows and columns in PHP? I am a newb so stay with me here 😕 ?

I think I have rows down. Here is my code:

<?PHP
echo "<TABLE BORDER=\"1\">\n";
echo "<TR
bgcolor=\"lightblue\"><TD>Name</TD><TD>Phone</TD><TD>Age</TD></TR>\n";
for($i = 0; $i < $numofrows; $i++) {
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result); //get a row from our result set
if($i % 2) { //this means if there is a remainder
echo "<TR bgcolor=\"yellow\">\n";
} else { //if there isn't a remainder we will do the else
echo "<TR bgcolor=\"white\">\n";
}
echo "<TD>".$row['name']."</TD><TD>".$row['phonenumber']."</TD><TD>".$row['age']."</TD>\n";
echo "</TR>\n";
}
//now let's close the table and be done with it
echo "</TABLE>\n";
?>

A very easy to do this is to write all the HTML, then just write the php code within the html, for example:

<?
php code here
?>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<? echo $var; ?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<?
carry on with php here;
?>

It saves a lot of hassle and bug checking for escape characters, quotes all that kind of stuff that occurs when using PHP to output HTML.
